Edmond / OKC LFS?

[pwhitby]

Scott,

Im sorry but you are mis-informed. I was in there Friday on the way to Dallas, and also on Sunday talking with Gary the owner. Right now they have a 50% off sale due to closing. There is very little marine related stock left. The fish system is empty.

The doors may be open right now, but they are closing.

Again, its a shame, they had a great store and Gary and his wife are very nice people. Talking with Gary, I think we may see him at some of the upcoming COMAS meetings. They have saltwater systems at their home.

Paul.

does anyone have a # handy to Pet Cafe? i googled it, but got the javadaves #. it everything is 50% off i might be able to get a return pump, sump, and HOB overflow box for half the price.

As I said, they didnt have much left.
I did not see any of the items you wanted in there and i looked quite closely. There were some PC bulbs by SPS, some airpumps (maybe 3 or 4) and several scrapers/airlines and small miscelaneous items.

Paul.

 

[Young Reefer 03]

hmm, PC bulbs? i have some corallife bulbs, but they have bad color. are SPS bulbs good quality?

 

[pwhitby]

I honestly cant say, I havent used them.

they had quite a few bulbs.

I also remember they had a nice tank, non reef ready and stand. It was maybe a 40g ...i cant honestly remember the size. It was nice though.

I use SPS metal halide bulbs and I like them. I don't know about the PC's though. I would give them a try, can't beat half off.

I'm coming into OKC on business the next 2 days. Does Zoanuts take walk in's? Some interesting stuff on the website..

If not- can someone recommend the single best stop for an out-of-towner? TIA- Chuck

When I go to OKC I usually just call the number on his website. If he is there he will probably let you stop in. That worked for my wife and I.

[Young Reefer 03]

Paul is correct , and Scott I agree they are good people and really went out of their way to have a satisified customer, their store will be missed. Hopefully they will stay involved in the hobby in one form or another.
